C.1 - SCOPE OF CONTRACT

This contract is established for the purpose of providing the routine and recurring maintenance of forest and administrative use roads managed by the Umpqua National Forest. This includes furnishing labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and all incidentals necessary to provide maintenance in accordance with drawings and specifications of the contract.

Bituminous surface patching and asphalt crack sealing is NOT included, unless added by mutual agreement.

The awarded Contractor has the right to decline to accept any requests for bituminous surface repairs. The Government has the right to contract for bituminous surface repairs separately.

Danger Tree removal is NOT required. If contractor locates a tree that is considered a danger to current maintenance activities, it shall be reported to the COR or Inspector immediately. After the tree is felled, cleanup of the resulting slash may be required and will be ordered on a separate task order.

Maintenance work consists of a variety of road repair activities including but not limited to the following:

• Blading

• Watering

• Compaction

• Ditch maintenance

• Drainage structure maintenance

• Roadway drainage maintenance

• Drain dip maintenance

• Removal and disposal of materials

• Culvert replacement, removal, or installation

• Roadside brushing

• Logging out

• Rock / Earth Barrier and Gate Maintenance

• Sign maintenance

The intent of the contract is for the awarded Contractor to provide routine contracted-out road maintenance work (other than bituminous pavement work and Danger Tree Felling) that may develop during the course of a yearly period.

Options are included for four additional yearly periods.

The scope of work is not limited to the payment items identified herein. Other payment items within the overall scope of road maintenance (such as those cited above) may be added by contract modification if an agreeable price and performance time can be established. In the event requirements for work develop that are not pre-priced, the Government will provide a complete description of the specifications and payment items and request a unit price. If mutual agreement is reached on the pricing of additional payment items, they may be added to the contract at any time.

Umpqua National Forest

If mutual agreement is not reached on proposed additional payment items, the Government reserves the right to contract for such work with others.

This is an indefinite delivery type contract. The specific work items and quantities shown for base year period are estimated only. Specific task orders will be issued for firm quantities and work locations throughout the term of the contract.

Pay items and estimated quantities are not shown for Option Years. Option years 1, 2, 3, and 4 pricing for work fitting within the base year period payment item schedule will be subject to Economic Price Adjustment as shown elsewhere herein.

Funding for portions of this project is provided under the “Secure Rural Schools and Community Self- Determination Act of 2000”, Public Law 106-393. Evaluation criteria will be based, in part, on Contractor’s commitment to create additional employment opportunities for local workers and residents.

• critical plant development or related environmental conditions necessary to meet the intent of the contract

• normally occurring conditions where continued work could cause harm to forest resources

These are normal conditions that may limit actual performance. Contract time will run continuously without suspension of the count of contract time during periods when no work is performed.

Any formal written suspension of work by the COR that is related to the above conditions or other unsuitable working conditions will not include a suspension of the count of contract time.

Contract time will normally not be formally suspended in writing by the COR unless the Contractor fails to suspend their own operations under unfavorable conditions where continued working could cause harm to the completion of the contract intent or harm to other forest resources.

Any formal written suspensions of work by the COR that are related to noncompliance with contract terms will not be construed as suspensions for the convenience of the Government.

F.6 -SUSPENSIONS OF WORK FOR OTHER THAN GOVERNMENT'S CONVENIENCE

The Contracting Officer may issue orders to suspend the work wholly or in part for such period of time as deemed necessary because of: (1) weather or ground conditions when further prosecution of the work might cause environmental or resource damage to the project, access roads to the project, or adjacent property. Such action would include but not be limited to instances such as siltation of streams, damage to access roads, rutting of project areas which causes otherwise suitable soils to be muddy or unsuitable; or (2) failure of the Contractor to comply with specifications, performing work prior to prerequisite approvals, operating equipment not meeting fire requirements, or when conditions exist which do not meet safety requirements. Whether or not a suspend work notice is issued, the Contractor shall be responsible for correcting any damage caused by its operation, whether inside or outside project limits, at no cost to the Government. Such suspensions shall not be considered as suspensions for the Convenience of the Government and shall not qualify for an equitable adjustment.
